Book description
Creating mouth-watering food images requires more than just a
love of food and access to a kitchen. With the popularity of food
blogs and photography how-tos, it’s tempting to think that
anyone can photograph food, but it’s another thing entirely
to shoot for a tight ad layout with the pressure of your client
watching over your shoulder.
Commercial food photographer Teri Campbell has been called a
“lighting master,” and in this beautifully illustrated
book, he not only shares his detailed lighting set-ups and shooting
techniques for a wide range of food and drink shots, but also
offers candid advice on how to set up a studio, use the right
equipment, market your work, find clients, bid on assignments, hire
food and prop stylists, and communicate effectively with everyone
on the set.
Campbell shares his expertise on dozens of commercial
assignments–from shooting beignets on location in New
Orleans, to creating perfect ice tea pours, to photographing beans
on real flames in his studio. Learn how he creates dynamic
compositions, uses studio strobes, and arranges light diffusers,
reflectors, fill cards, and mirrors, to create the perfect capture.
Campbell also discusses his post-processing techniques in Adobe
Camera Raw and Adobe Photoshop to create images that are
irresistible.
This guide for intermediate and advanced users provides the insider
details to help you expand your photography skills or turn your
passion for food and images into a professional career.
